I have a Sears push mower with a 5.5 or 6hp engine.
It would only run if I continued pushing the fuel bubble or sprayed carb cleaner into the carb.
Ok, easy enough, clean the carb out should fix it, obviously a fuel restriction.
Cleaned the carb, jets, needle and seat, etc. Does the same thing!
I then replaced the carb and it STILL doe the same thing....makes no sense.
I had already replaced the fuel and filter.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be?:confused2:
I worked on a friends Honda this week and cleaned his corroded carb. When I put the carb back on it ran a minute and died. I double checked and no gas coming out of fuel line to carb. I found the fuel filter was on backwards and once I reversed it everything was flowing like it should and staying running. Bob
